Red Hat to throw its hat in with Container Storage Interface

Red Hat will add support for the Container Storage Interface to its existing OpenShift container platform and storage products next year, according to Red Hat executives who spoke to Computer Weekly last week.

Core to OpenShift Container Storage is Red Hat’s GlusterFS, which is the firm’s scale-out file system that can also provide object and (iSCSI) block storage interfaces. Management of Gluster for containers comes via the platform’s Heketi APIs.
